Hotel Bh Bicentenario
I found the washroom to be not up to par. Water did not drain properly both in the shower and the sink, specifically in Room 616, and despite reporting it, was not able to be fixed. The toilet flush was very weak and needed three or four flushes to get rid of the TP.

Modern and clean room/on site restaurant was ok - food didn't compare to the rest of Bogota and quite expensive. Washroom in room had a see through frosted door and shower didn't have a door/more open concept.
